boils down to. it's a question of how much extra are you willing to pay? so we'll ask people. how much extra would you be willing to pay to make sure the outage isn't so long? >> i don't think i should have to pay anything. i pay taxes. >> i'd pay 10, sure. >> reporter: what about you? >> yeah, 10. >> a couple dollars maybe, but not a whole lot. >> reporter: how much more would you be willing to pay a month to make sure you weren't without power so long? >> hell, i'm already paying too much as it is, so any amount that i say will be too much. >> something reasonable like 15 bucks. >> reporter: so let's say everyone agreed to pay $10 a month over five years. well, according to these state papers, pepco has a half million customers in maryland and gbe 1.2 million. so let's say 1.7 million people agreed to pay $10 a month every month for five years. we just came up with $1

billion, but would a billion solve the problem for bge, pepco in maryland? no one during these two days of hearings put a dollar amount on what it would take. what everyone is clear on is if you don't want to expect five, six, seven or eight-day outages, you are going to have to pay more money. in baltimore russ ptacek, 9 news now. >> regulators say consumers will only accept an average of 24 hours in a worst case scenario and pepco said the best they can do in severe cases is five or six days. this is a story you have to watch to believe. last saturday's fierce storms brought down an enormous tree at 38th and appleton streets in northwest washington, but as andrea mccarren shows us, there is an interesting twist. >> there was a tremendous crash. >> reporter: the gunthers thought it was a clap of thunder. >> and i said gee, what a terrible storm. the thunder is so loud.

>> reporter: look at what he saw. the elderly couple's honda totaled by a colossal tree that had fallen by the tree. it smashed a nearby picket fence, its branches smashed shingles off a roof, but the car took the brunt of the impact. >> i took an optimistic attitude maybe we could salvage the car until we looked at it. >> reporter: but their story doesn't end there. neighbors say the residents of this house called the d.c. government at least five times to share their concerns about the health of this tree and five times they say a city tree inspector came out and deemed this tree healthy, but d.c.'s department of transportation whose urban forestry administration has oversight of the city's trees insists a healthy tree is just as likely to topple as an unhealthy one. >> i just turned 92. >> reporter: sadly the gunthers don't have comprehensive car insurance, so they have no idea how they'll

get to the grocery store or to doctor's appointments. >> to get around without a car, we'll have to manage somehow. >> reporter: their car was 15 years old, but to them it was indispensable. in northwest washington, andrea mccarren, 9 news now. >> the vdot spokesman also said a tree with a full canopy of leaves can catch a wind gust and fall while the wind might simply sail through a tree with barren branches and not topple it. as for the gun theres, even if d.c.'s risk -- gunthers, even if d.c.'s risk management decides to compensate them, it would be at blue book value and probably not enough to buy another one. a tsa officer stopped a man from bringing a gun on a plane at reagan national today. this is the weapon it. contained six run ons of ammo in -- rounds of ammo in the man's carry-on bag. airport operations went on unaffected. coming up the outraged

royal family takes action after prince william's wife kate is photographed topples while on a private vacation. topples topless while on a private vacation. >> first new polls show one of the candidates starting to pull away in the presidential race. we'll suggest the numbers with face the nation host bob schieffer when we come back.

a brand-new cbs news poll shows president barack obama building a slight lead over his republican challenger mitt romney. it was found 49% of likely voters would vote for the president versus 46% who would vote for romney. with all the registered voters obama is leading romney 53 to 41% and key battleground states show the president building a lead all this after the two candidates were neck and neck heading into the party conventions. well, joining us now live to talk about all that, chief washington correspondent bob schieffer. bob is, it safe to suggest that president obama got a convention bump, whereas mitt romney did not? >> he may or may not have, but what jumps out at me in this poll, derek, is when you drill down into it, 40% of americans

now think the country is headed in the right direction. now that's not a large number. it's far from a majority, but that is a nine-point jump over the same question when it was asked last month. that's the highest number, the largest number of americans who think the country is moving in the right direction in three years now. now you couple that with a couple of other things in the poll and it suggests that the president's message that he is the one who can do the most for the middle class is beginning to break through. a majority of people in our poll said they thought he was the one who could best help the middle class and about 53% thought that romney's policies favored rich people. so, you know, it's been a rough couple of weeks for the obama administration, but as polls go, this is some of the best they've ever had i think. >> speaking of rough weeks, what's happening in libya now

and the unrest in the middle east is very tough for the president as well. you'll be talking about that on face the nation. senator john mccain will there be. what's your sense now that we've calmed down a little bit on romney's criticism of the president as to how this will play out politically for our president obama? >> well, i don't know where this is going, but it has put the united states in a very dangerous place because these demonstrations that we saw in benghazi and we saw in cairo we had demonstrations , very serious demonstrations in tunisia today, there were very strong demonstrations in yemen yesterday. we've had to send marines in there. we're also sending marines in to -- not large numbers -- but marines into libya. how far this thing is going to go and how long this is going to last, that's the thing that really concerns i think our foreign policy experts right now and you're right. it's what we're going to focus on sunday on face the nation.

it's just you can't say yet how serious this is and how much deeper this is going to go. >> we'll hope the answer to that is not very serious and not too much deeper. bob, thank you so much. >> hope so. well, medal or no medal everybody was a winner at the white house today. president obama saluted team america at the executive mansion. every olympic and paralympic athlete got a hands on congrats from the president himself. the first lady and vice president joe biden were also on hand for the celebration. the president is helping bruce springsteen's bottom line. his song we take care of our own was featured during the conclusion of the democratic national convention in charlotte. billboard says song sales soared by 409% afterwards. sales of the cd that contains the song wrecking ball are also up. springsteen fans can probably count on hearing some of the selections from wrecking ball during the boss' live concert tonight at national stadium.
